Founders John Sjulander and Pelle Tunell

Our history

The brothers' climate-smart platform for the construction industry

What started as a service for friends in the construction sector has blossomed into a leading impact company that is now the fastest-growing greentech company in Sweden, doubling its turnover four years in a row. Using Plant's groundbreaking climate calculation platform, industry professionals across the construction spectrum can integrate quality-assured climate calculations into their workflows, leading to smarter and more climate-efficient decisions from the ground up.

Plant was founded in 2017 by brothers Pelle Tunell and John Sjulander, both with backgrounds in software development and engineering. Together they developed a unique software tool that not only meets the digitization needs of the construction and real estate industry, but also their growing climate requirements. For the first three years, the brothers financed the business themselves, working evenings and weekends. When they felt they had the right product, they attracted external capital, which led to explosive growth. Plant has gone from two to its current 29 employees.
